| Summary: | Drawing on the lessons learned throughout a distinguished writing career and nearly twenty years as a teacher of creative writing, McCann delivers a collection of essays that combines practical advice, creative inspiration and a profound call to arms for a new generation of writers to bring truth and light to a dark world through their art. Addressing subjects such as "The Terror of the White Page," "Embrace the Critics" and "If You're Done, You've Just Begun," this collection is a testament to the bruises of writing as profession and as calling, and a paean to the power of language. |
